Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na lyrics and translation: Kahin To Hogi

Devoting time this week to the Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na soundtrack, which was launched at Shammi Kapoor's house on Tuesday (see related post, including video from the launch). Listened to it a couple of times today, and it is refreshing and fun-filled while easily being the best soundtrack of the year. Hoping to translate each song this week. Even hope to compile my translations and transliterations in a downloadable booklet, if anyone's interested =) (?)

Too often, soundtracks belonging to this genre are classified as 'yet another album with noise'. This is unlike anything I have come across in its genre. It is definitely worth listening to and understanding, hence the effort.

The album has eight tracks, one of which is a remix (see the track listing in this post). Let's start with Kahin To Hogi. Beautifully sung by newcomer Rashid Ali and Vasundhara Das, it is fast becoming a sing-along favorite!

Thanks a lot for putting the translation up, because this is such a beautiful song. Everything in it is perfect! The lyrics are sumptuous, the music is grand and so soothing, without forgetting the translation which is impeccable! Hats off dude!

Punzelle and Sulee: Welcome to the blog, and you're very welcome, thank you for your kind words!

Punzelle: All the songs from Jaane Tu are really good. I think of all the albums released in 2008, it's the one I frequent most. Aap ka dil Bharati hai, indeed! Good luck learning Hindi! (LOL at the comment on the profile picture ;)

Sulee: You're absolutely correct about the poets. The soundtracks add so much to a movie, and the lyrics are the heart of it all, well said!
